Dylan's Voice On Grammy Nominee Song?

The song is called Lies, Lies, Lies, which is certainly appropriate. I had assumed from the name that it was that crappy song that Bermas uses to open his RBN program, but it's not, it's a heavy metal tune. The clip of Dylan's voice (?) comes at about 2:40 with the "American has been hijacked, not by Al Qaeda, but by a group of tyrants" that basically closes the movie. Actually I'm not sure if it's Dylan's voice; it sounds a little deeper, but it's certainly his words.

I'm glad Ministry's getting Grammy nominations, but I'd rather they did so by accusing the administration of, oh, provable things, like giving medals to people who had miserable failiures happen on their watch. Heckuva job, Bushie.

Big Al's always been a conspiracy idiot. Regardless, The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste and Pslam 69 are arse kickin' discs. I saw Ministry at Lollapalooza in the outskirts of Chicago. Throughout their set the lawn sitters ripped up the grass and had a massive turf fight. Crazy sight. Ministry played a revved up industrial metal cover of Sabbath's classic Supernaut.

Ministry is one of those bands that kind of fall in between Metal and Industrial. I don't consider them full on metal. Sometimes, they may be metal, other times, not. I usually don't consider them unless there is a consistency in their sound.

Anyway, what you consider metal is subjective. I'm more into the traditional sound of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Helloween, and Manowar. I also like some more of the newer bands like Finntroll, Iced Earth, Blind Guardian, Nightwish, Emperor, Immortal, etc.
